Reflow process assembly notes: * Use AuSn (80/20) solder and limit exposure to temperatures above 300C to 3-4 minutes, maximum. * An alloy station or conveyor furnace with reducing atmosphere should be used. * Do not use any kind of flux. * Coefficient of thermal expansion matching is critical for long-term reliability. * Devices must be stored in a dry nitrogen atmosphere. Interconnect process assembly notes: * Ball bonding is the preferred interconnect technique, except where noted on the assembly diagram. * Force, time, and ultrasonics are critical bonding parameters. * Aluminum wire should not be used. * Devices with small pad sizes should be bonded with 0.0007-inch wire.
